The Toronto Raptors are returning home after a 2-2 road trip as they welcome the 6-3 Memphis Grizzlies to town.

The Grizzlies started out 6-0, but they have lost their last three games, including a 31-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in their first NBA Cup game of the season. Meanwhile, the Raptors are dealing with some ups and downs and inconsistency in the lineup as a result of some injuries that have plagued the team.

The Raptors did not play with Scottie Barnes (groin) or Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) in the team's win against the Milwaukee Bucks, and the pair are questionable for the game against the Grizzlies.

Regardless of whether the Raptors have their top starters or not, the team needs to come out of the gate with a stronger performance against the Grizzlies.
